Every day's a blessing, so I'm just out there throwing my best.

I was nervous batting eighth, and I was nervous batting seventh.

I'm not a conventional guy. I've never been a conventional guy.

I know about having days off. They can be helpful sometimes, especially late in the year. It's just key to go out there and establish early, especially in this park where they can put up some crooked numbers early.

I feel I let my team down today. My heart is bleeding for everybody else. I felt like I should have gotten it done today. That's how it is. Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't.

I just want to say I owe the whole reds organization a great deal. Great staff top to bottom and I wish those guys all the best.

The sun shines on everybody. Youve got to keep believing.
